The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 209 Apprenticeship

In the Yu Lei Sect, Mou Xuyou's face immediately fell when he saw his master fly away. He thought to himself, "I have to do all these trivial things, and people even beg you to accept them as disciples. How can you be so shameless? Don't you know your reputation in the sect? 'The One Who Will Never Let You Go'! After so many years, I am the only one who has strong vitality and survived. None of the others could have made it through."

Qiu Xiaotian has a big problem. He likes to bet with others, and he loses every time. So this powerful person is actually so poor that he has nothing. He has no resources at all, so how can he take care of his apprentice? Mu Xuyou shook his head and said, "Well, let's go meet the person first and see what the situation is."

Mou Xuyou shook his head and walked into the cave, where he saw a man who was held in mid-air by his master, wearing only a pair of strange pants, still struggling desperately. Mou Xuyou covered his face and thought to himself, "You are forcing me to become your disciple, and now you are calling me?" When Mou Xuyou walked in front of Pan Chengfeng, they both said in surprise, "It's you!"

Mou Xuyou was surprised and delighted. Pan Chengfeng was surprised and angry! Mou Xuyou was delighted that this person was not from the Yu Lei Sect, so naturally he didn't know the reputation of his master. Pan Chengfeng was angry that his master had tortured him and now he changed his apprentice. Pan Chengfeng said angrily: "What other tricks do you have? Just come! If I beg for mercy, I'm not a man!" He struggled as he spoke. Mou Xuyou hurriedly said: "My friend, you misunderstood. I'll put you down now." After that, he formed seals with his hands and cast a few spells to break the tricks of the combined power.

With a bang, Pan Chengfeng fell face down on the ground. He stood up and spat out a few mouthfuls of sand, angrily saying: "What's wrong? You master and disciple have changed your methods, let me tell you! I will not be persuaded by soft or hard tactics! If you have the guts, kill me! I will never say a word!" Mu Xuyou hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand, my friend, I just have something to discuss with you."

Pan Chengfeng looked at him unkindly and said, "Didn't that old guy ask you to come?" Mou Xuyou sighed and said, "It was my master who asked me to come. Once a teacher, always a father. I cannot disobey my master, so I can only come and ask for help. Please have mercy on me." As he spoke, his eyes turned red.

Pan Chengfeng was shocked and said, "I didn't do anything. Are you trying to scam me?" Seeing that the cultivator was about to cry, how could Pan Chengfeng not be shocked? Mu Xuyou suppressed his sad emotions and said, "As you can see, I was born with dark skin. Even when I broke through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm, my skin didn't change much. It was just a little better than before. In the past thousand years, I haven't had a Taoist partner. All the fairies dislike my dark skin and are afraid that my children will be as dark as mine. I dream of having a Taoist partner so that I can get married and have children."

Pan Chengfeng was surprised and said, "You are a cultivator of the Void Refining Sect, right? How is it possible that you can't find a Taoist partner?" Mu Xuyou sighed, "Master won't allow people from small families with low cultivation, saying that it's embarrassing. None of the immortals from big sects and big families would like us." Pan Chengfeng said angrily, "That old guy! He is not a good person! Look how he forced his own disciple! I think you should defect from the sect and get along with me in the future. I promise that you will have many wives and concubines, and many children and grandchildren!"

Mou Xuyou said: "Once a teacher, always a father. I will not do such a thing. A real man has his own ways and his own ways. Besides, I am the only disciple left by the master. In fact, if you accept me as your disciple, we will be brothers. I don't need the master's teachings very often, so the master can devote all his energy to teaching you alone."

Pan Chengfeng said, "So you came here to persuade me to become your disciple? I can see that the old man wanted to force me to become his disciple from the beginning, but I didn't agree, so he kept me hanging and tortured me with illusions! He is such a jerk!" Mu Xuyou said, "In fact, as a great late-stage fusion master, it is very easy for Master to accept a disciple. It's just that he wants to save face and is unwilling to ask. He must ask you to beg him, so I came here to persuade you."

Pan Chengfeng was shocked and thought to himself, "I thought he was at the early stage of fusion, but I didn't expect that old man to be at the late stage of fusion. There is a huge difference between the two." Seeing that Pan Chengfeng didn't say anything, Mou Xuyou said, "Master has found a marriage for me this time. As long as you agree to become my disciple, Master will help me propose marriage. So, I beg you, please satisfy Master's vanity and appease the old man by becoming my disciple."

Pan Chengfeng sneered, "Don't frame me! Is that old man really a great late-stage fusion master?" Mou Xuyou said firmly, "It's the real deal!" Pan Chengfeng glanced at the cave, which was empty. He was a little uncertain and said, "Is the old man poor, or is he used to this?" Pan Chengfeng pointed at the cave. Mou Xuyou sighed, "Master likes to make bets with others. The last time he opened a store, he made a bet with someone, and he lost, and it turned out like this."

Pan Chengfeng jumped up and said, "So you're a poor fellow! How come there's only one table and a few chairs in such a big cave? It turns out you've lost so much money that you're almost losing your pants!" Mu Xuyou said, "Master's friends know Master's character and have taken advantage of him. Master sometimes even asks me for resources. Sigh..." Pan Chengfeng suddenly felt that this future senior brother was a pitiful and honest man. He dared to say this to him. Aren't you afraid that he won't become his disciple? In fact, when he heard that the old man was a great master in the late stage of fusion, Pan Chengfeng had already decided to become his disciple, but he just wanted to know more clearly.

Pan Chengfeng looked at Mou Xuyou with a sad face and asked, "Since you knew that he was trying to cheat your master, why didn't you stop him?" Mou Xuyou said excitedly, "Why didn't I stop him? Last time, I made a bet with him that he would make 100 million taels of silver a year by running an inn. I hurried to stop him, but my master just slapped me away. How could I stop him? In the end, I could only follow him down the mountain to open a shop." Pan Chengfeng thought to himself, "If I were to make 100 million taels of silver a year, I would definitely be able to do it! But I'm not an ordinary person. Ordinary people can't make that much in 100 years just by relying on the income from the inn. It seems that he really came to cheat him. Is this considered a friend?"

Pan Chengfeng suddenly asked, "If I really become your disciple, won't I have no resources? Not even any skills or spells?" Mu Xuyou said hurriedly, "How is that possible? The sect has basic skills and spells for new disciples to learn, and will give corresponding resources every month based on their cultivation. There are also sect missions. Completing the missions will also earn points, which can be exchanged for resources!"

Pan Chengfeng touched his chin and thought: "Anyway, I don't need any resources from the master. I can get the resources myself, mainly the skills and spells. It's better to practice the skills and spells with the guidance of that old guy than to cross the river by feeling the stones. The most important thing is that it is effective in bluffing people. A powerful person in the late stage of fusion can walk sideways wherever he goes." After thinking about these things, Pan Chengfeng said, "Where is the old guy? I'll go to become his disciple." Mou Xuyu almost shed tears of emotion, and hurriedly said, "The master is in the back mountain, I'll take you there." Mou Xuyu took Pan Chengfeng and flew to the back mountain.

Qiu Xiaotian was getting a little impatient waiting in the back mountain. He paced back and forth and said, "Could it be that it didn't work? I finally found a disciple, why is it so difficult? If it doesn't work, I will force him to be my disciple! Anyway, as long as he kowtows, he can't run away! Yes, that's it!" Just as he made the decision, he suddenly sensed two figures approaching. They were his disciple and Pan Chengfeng. Qiu Xiaotian excitedly said, "It worked?!" He hurriedly struck a pose that he thought was very cool, with his hands on his chest and his head raised to the sky.

After the two landed, they saw Qiu Xiaotian staring at the sky, so they also looked up at the sky. After looking for a long time without seeing anything, Mou Xuyou bowed and said, "Master, the person is here, and he is willing to be your disciple." Pan Chengfeng walked out and said with a smile, "Senior, why are you doing so much trouble to accept a disciple? I originally wanted to come to the Yu Lei Sect to practice, and I will find a master sooner or later. You are so advanced in cultivation, it must be a good choice." Qiu Xiaotian stood there without moving, nor did he turn around. Pan Chengfeng knew that this old man was waiting for him to kneel down and beg him. So he simply knelt down and said loudly, "I, Pan Chengfeng, kowtow to Qiu Xiaotian of the Yu Lei Sect, the great elder Qiu, to accept me as your disciple. I will definitely respect my teacher and serve my master!" After that, he kowtowed three times.

Qiu Xiaotian then slowly turned around and said, "Have you thought it through? Once you enter the sect, you are a member of the Yu Lei Sect. Even if you die, you will be a ghost of the Yu Lei Sect!" Pan Chengfeng looked up and said, "Think it through. Elder Qiu, please accept me as your disciple!" Qiu Xiaotian couldn't hold it in anymore. His mouth was split with laughter. He hurried down, helped Pan Chengfeng up and said, "Good disciple, my good disciple, hahahaha!!"

Pan Chengfeng and Mou Xuyou were puzzled. Is it necessary to be so happy to have a disciple? Qiu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Okay! I will give you a gift today!" Then he fumbled with the storage bracelet for a long time, but didn't find anything. Finally, he took off the storage bracelet and said, "This storage bracelet has been with me for a long time. Now I will give it to you as a gift."

Pan Chengfeng took the storage bracelet and looked inside: "Wow! Ten thousand cubic meters! As expected of a fusion cultivator, every item is a treasure!" Seeing that Pan Chengfeng didn't say anything, Qiu Xiaotian thought that Pan Chengfeng was not satisfied with the gift, and hurriedly said: "Keep the storage bracelet first, and I will find you a magic treasure in a while, which will definitely be suitable for you!" Pan Chengfeng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly bowed and said: "Thank you, Master." Then he turned to Mou Xuyou and said: "Hello, Senior Brother Mou. I'm new here, and I need your advice in the future."

Mou Xuyou smiled and said, "You're welcome, Junior Brother. It's my duty. I'll take you to get the uniforms and ID card of a direct disciple, as well as some basic exercises." Then he said to Qiu Xiaotian, "Master, I'll take you there." Qiu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Go ahead, good disciple. If you have anything, you can come directly to Zilei Peak to find your master." Pan Chengfeng bowed and said, "Thank you, Master."

Before the two of them left, Qiu Xiaotian flew away first. Mou Xuyou asked in confusion, "Look at the direction, is he going to find the sect master? Master rarely goes to find the sect master, what happened this time?" Pan Chengfeng asked, "Sect Master? Shangguan Yun?" Mou Xuyou said hurriedly, "Shh! In the sect, if a disciple directly calls the sect master's name, he will be whipped. Junior brother, be careful in the future. I will slowly tell you the sect rules. Junior brother, listen carefully." Pan Chengfeng nodded, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said, "Senior brother, junior brother has something to ask of you."
